I have a Black Diamond in 50 cal SS with black composite stock. The gun does shoot very well. However, it is a pain to clean compared to my buddies Encore. If I had it to do over, I'd get the Encore and not just for maintenance reasons. The interchangable barrel system is an awesome feature. You can get the shotgun barrel as well and have both guns that you're allowed. As far as caliber, I heard the 45's are more accurate than 50's but, less popular and might make it harder to find components.
